As a software developer, you're often seen as the person who 'just makes things work.' What people don't see is the countless hours of debugging, late-night commits, or the frustration when a "simple" last-minute change turns into a full-scale refactor.
This book came from years of living through those moments-the ones where your hard work goes unnoticed, your meetings seem to never end, and the feature creep monster shows up just before release. But instead of complaining, I decided to laugh about it, and this book is my way of sharing those laughs with you.
You'll find stories in here that every developer can relate to, from the "last-minute hero" swooping in for credit to the "overconfident fresher" suggesting wild changes that somehow make it into production. These tales are meant to shine a light on the realities we face in this profession, but with a humorous twist.
Writing this has been both cathartic and fun. My hope is that as you read through these chapters, you'll laugh, you'll nod in agreement, and you'll know that you're not alone in this coding adventure.
